17:1 After Jesus had spoken these things, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so that your Son may glorify you.
17:2 For you gave him authority over all flesh, so that he may give eternal life to all those you have given him.
17:3 This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
17:4 I have glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
17:5 Now, Father, glorify me at your own side with the glory I had at your side before the world existed.
17:6 “I revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they have held on to your word.
17:7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
17:8 For I gave them the words you gave me, and they received them. They learned the truth that I came from you. They believed that you sent me.
17:9 “I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, because they are yours.
17:10 All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine. And I am glorified in them.
17:11 I am no longer going to be in the world, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, which you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
17:12 While I was with them, I kept those you gave me safe in your name. I protected them and not one of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
17:13 “But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so that they may be filled with my joy.
17:14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17:15 I am not asking that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the Evil One.
17:16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth.
17:18 As you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world.
17:19 I sanctify myself for them, so they also may be sanctified by the truth.
17:20 “I am praying not only for them, but also for those who believe in me through their message.
17:21 May they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.
17:22 I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one:
17:23 I in them, and you in me. May they become completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am so that they may see my glory—the glory you gave me because you loved me before the world’s foundation.
17:25 Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I knew you, and these men knew that you sent me.
17:26 I made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me may be in them and that I may be in them.”
